About Preinspect

Independent inspections, built around clear reporting.

Preinspect was started with one goal: give buyers and sellers a property report that's actually useful — clear findings, real photos, no vague hedging.

Our approach

Every inspection follows the same structured checklist across exterior, interior, plumbing, electrical, roof space and subfloor — so nothing gets missed because of a rushed walkthrough.

We work for you, not the sale. That means the report says what we find, even when it complicates a deal.

Who's behind it

Licensed Building Practitioner

Always check the LBP Register to ensure your building practitioner is licensed.

Preinspect is run by Braden Simmonds, a Licensed Building Practitioner (Carpentry) holding a New Zealand Certificate in Carpentry (Level 4), with 15 years of building experience across New Zealand's residential, architectural and commercial sectors.

That trade background means inspections are backed by hands-on building experience, not just a generic checklist — every report reflects what a qualified builder actually looks for.
